The National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research awarded a $539,083 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
The grant funds experimental research and education related to magnetic topological metals, which are materials with unique properties and potential applications in advanced technologies. Specifically, the investigators will use scanning and time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy and magneto-terahertz spectroscopy to study domain evolution, Berry curvature effects, and dynamics in magnetic Weyl semimetals. The research aims to establish these techniques as a new platform to study emerging magnetic topological materials and provide a comprehensive understanding of their properties in real and momentum space as well as temporal dynamics. This work supports the program's goal of advancing the mathematical and physical sciences to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
